Veleda IV is a Canadian vessel that is several years into a similar sail as I plan for the Atlantic Circle.  Their on-line logs are a great account of their trip and include lots of useful information for my planning.

Website of Bill Dillon (KG4QFM) and Pat Watt (KG4QFQ) and their Tayana 37 Callipygia.  They are several years into the cruising life with a trans-Atlantic trip ahead of them.
 

Nicky & Nigel.  Two Brits who have completed an Atlantic Circle from the channel island of Jersey.

Crusing Club of America website contains a good overview of the planning, and issues that need to be dealt with in cruising European waters.  There is not a lot detail on solutions here, for that best bet are the Whoosh articles on this site or Noonsite.com (see below).  Still this is a good overview of Europe cruising for North American yachts and worth the read.

Digiboat is the publisher of my preferred PC Navigation Program.  It is a very robust software product with excellent support at a very reasonable cost.  It supports most if not all of the features available in the high-end products such as Maxsea and Nobeltec.  The only downside to this product is it works only with the lates C-Map charts (not the old, widely-distributed CM-93 charts).  So the entrance cost to the product is minimal, but the cost of the charts is substantial.

I recently (February, 2004) purchased the FUGAWI Navigation Software.  I have resisted an investment in Electronic Charting Display and Information Software (ECDIS) up to now because I viewed it as at best a back-up navigation tool.  That is the primary navigation charts on board are the paper charts.  Therefore it is hard to justify the cost of the ECS software and charts if you have to also purchase the paper charts of the same coverage.  I decided to invest in ECDIS when I realized it could be of great benefit when entering an unfamiliar harbor.  At that time I would be extremely busy with a number of navigation, radio contact, and steering tasks, and probably exhausted.  I believe it would be of great benefit to be able to have an electronic plot of the ship's position during this period (see The Damn Spit Buoy).  I chose FUGAWI as my navigation software in part because it was not prohibitively expensive, supported scanned images of charts, supported the free NOAA ENC vector charts, but mostly because the publishers chose to name their product after the punch line of that old joke, "...where the FUGAWI?".

Jimmy Cornell's web site for passage making information.  Much information on ports of entry, tax laws, immigration requirements, and criminal activity that might affect cruisers world wide.

Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA).  Cruising information from people out there doing it.  Most of the information is on the Caribbean, Mexico, and the South Pacific, but there are still frequent reports from people on similar cruises to my Atlantic Circle.

The Cruising Association of the UK.  In addition to operating the Limehouse Basin marina off the River Thames in London, the association offers a number of services to cruising sailors.  These services include education, news, and a large library of charts and cruising guides.

Winlink 2000.  Position reporting, email transfer, weather and bulletin service for ham radio operators.  I used this service to provide position reports on Sarah's two ocean crossings (2005 & 2007) as well as the cruise of the Western Med (2006).

Even though I have a Ham license (NI4JKD) I continue to subscribe to the SailMail service.  On my recent ocean crossing from Portugal to the Chesapeake Bay I found I could not connect reliably to any Winlink station, but I got solid connections to the SailMail station in Belgium(OSY) for the first have of the voyage and the N. American stations for the second half. 

Yotreps, the alternative to WinLink for position reporting if you don't have a Ham license.

Some basic information on the electrical wiring standards, including those in Europe.

St. Katherine Docks, a downtown London Marina.  Right next to the Tower of London.

The controlling agency for the inland waterways of France.  The official web site for the canals of France.

LE PORT DE PLAISANCE DE PARIS ARSENAL.  The most popular and convenient marina within the city limits of Paris.

The Wheelhouse is a record of living on board in Paris from a couple who have since moved back to the states.

I don't really know anything about this outfit, but it is one of the few marine facilities I've been able to identify on French Waterways.  It is located just about halfway between the English Channel and the Med, and is a possible source of skills and equipment to effect repairs to any damage or failure encountered in the first half of the canal transit.

Park Kemer Marina is a very modern marina in Southern Turkey.  It is a likely wintering location during my Mediterranean cruise.

Cruising Services & Supplies is a company owned and run by my friend Dick Juppenlatz.  He has developed a significant level of expertise in on-board telecommunications and has been able to help a large number of cruisers (myself included) up the difficult learning curve of becoming a competent operator of on-board HF telecommunications (SSB or HAM).  I recommend him highly.
